Hey everyone my names Loren and I'm 20 years old from Columbus, Ohio. I love all sports and am planning on going to college sometime soon. I want to go to college to become a sports journalist, either print or broadcast, maybe a little of both. My love of sports started when I was really young when I started to play baseball when I was 4, yes I said baseball and yes I am a girl. I just liked baseball better than softball. So as you can see I have been a sports fan for a long time. As I got older I got more and more into sports and then my senior year of high school I took a journalism class. After realizing that I loved the class and I was a decent writer I decided that I would put the two together and now I want to become a sports writer. I pretty much love all sports except for tennis, just never got into it, even though I really like to play it? So I found this site and decided I would give it a try, maybe to learn a little more about writing and hopefully write a few articles along the way. Well thanks for listening to me talk about myself.
